IAN WHITCOMB
The Golden Age of Tin Pan Alley
Rivermont BSW-3137
Following his meteoric rise to fame as a rock star in the 1960s "British Invasion," Grammy-winner Ian Whitcomb turned his attention to the popular songs of the ragtime era and "Tin Pan Alley" -- music of the 1910s, '20s, and '30s. This special limited edition 2-CD set contains 51 of the era's best songs, delivered in Whitcomb's inimitable style. From hot fox-trots to sentimental ballads, from comedy novelty songs to gentle waltzes, this collection celebrates a time when the melodies were tuneful and the lyrics had heart. Personally selected by Ian Whitcomb, this compilation includes several selections not previously released. The package includes a deluxe, full-color illustrated 32-page booklet with extensive notes by Glenn Robison.
144 minutes on two CDs. Recorded 1972-2009.
